The official road of the farmer

Imperial study room

Emperor Tai'an sat on the throne and bowed his head to review the memorial.

The smoke from the stove was lingering in the air, and the chief steward stood respectfully beside the throne, ready to serve Emperor Tai'an at any time.

Under the throne, the Eldest Prince knelt on the ground, knocking his forehead on the cold ground, his face was full of embarrassment.

Tai'an Emperor Zhu Bi reviewed the memorial, then put the Zhu Bi aside, and looked at his eldest son with confusion, "What do you think is your crime?"

The eldest prince felt guilty and said: "Cui Liangdao is the son-in-law of the Ming family, and now he has committed such a heinous crime. It is really hard to escape the responsibility. After my uncle learned about it, his mind was depressed, and my son and minister felt uneasy, so I begged my father to forgive me."

Emperor Tai'an looked at the eldest prince with scrutiny for a long time, his face was calm, and it was impossible for anyone to guess what he was thinking.

In the end, Emperor Tai'an eased his tone and said softly,

"The emperor doesn't have to blame himself too much, it has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to take the responsibility on yourself."

Hearing the emotion in Emperor Tai'an's tone, the eldest prince was overjoyed for a while, and his father's heart softened, so he put on his best performance and said a lot of self-blaming words.

He got carried away for a while, but he forgot that everything was too late. He didn't expect that the more he talked, it would make Emperor Tai'an have other thoughts.

The eldest prince is the son of the royal family, his own son, but he is so close to his natal family without any scruples.Although it is true that the younger generation should be relatives, he is the prince of Da Xia first, and the nephew of the Ming family second.

The eldest prince's performance turned the cart before the horse.How does this make Emperor Tai'an feel comfortable?In the eldest prince's heart, is the natal family closer than the royal family?

Emperor Tai'an's eyes turned cold, and his face became more gentle.

The eldest prince didn't notice the strangeness of Emperor Tai'an's passing by at all. After speaking, he said sincerely, "I am willing to share my father's worries, and I am willing to donate 5000 taels of silver to do my little for the suffering people in Jinjiang."

"Daier has a heart."

The eldest prince was very humble, "This is what a minister should do." Then he said with concern, "Father, I heard that you worry about Jinjiang's affairs day and night, and you haven't had a good rest for several days. Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Under your leadership, the entire Great Xia is becoming more and more prosperous, and our Great Xia is full of talents, and there are many people who can relieve the father's worries."

The eldest prince talked eloquently, "Especially this year's admission to Jinshi, it is even more talented. I think that the father can take this opportunity to give young sons a chance to perform."

Tai'an Dilue was interested, "Oh? How do you say it?"

"I feel that the three members of the present department can follow Lord Wan to Jinjiang to help deal with the civil uprising in Jinjiang, and give them a platform to exercise and show themselves. In the future, they can unleash more potential to relieve father's worries."

Emperor Tai'an thought about it for a while, and his eyes showed relief, "This is a great idea! Dai'er is really mature, and can relieve father's worries."

The eldest prince smiled shyly, as if he was embarrassed, but he was also excited by his father's praise, "It is the duty of a son or minister to share the worries of the father!"

Emperor Tai'an pondered for a moment, "Yu Xiuzhuan joined Mr. Jiangge's history compilation project. Now is the critical moment, and he couldn't get away. With the second place in the new division and Tanhualang as the judges, we went to Jinjiang together."

"Father is wise!" The eldest prince quickly saluted and complimented him.

Sending only two people was in line with the eldest prince's wishes, he was afraid that his father would find out what he was thinking, so he said three people.

But even if the three of them go together, it's okay, he still worries that he won't have a chance to teach Yu Maolin a profound lesson.

The previous few times, he was lucky to avoid it, and Jiang Ge was watching, their movements were not good, but if they were outside, he didn't believe they couldn't cure him!

The eldest prince showed a sneer, his younger brother is not so easy to bully.

After the eldest prince left the palace, an imperial decree immediately went to the Imperial Academy.

At this time, Ye Junshu was silently doing the task at hand, with a few books spread out on the table, holding a brush in his hand, but did not move.

He was thinking, how can he meet Ah Yu?

The last time I took my family to the military camp to see Xiaoshan and Chenghe, but the military camp was strictly guarded, and the relatives of the soldiers visiting relatives were not allowed to enter the camp. They could only wait outside for someone to come out, and then reunite in a separate house outside the military camp.

What a misstep!

He thought he could have a chance encounter in the barracks!

Unexpectedly, even Deputy Lieutenant Liao could not take him into the barracks without permission.

If Ah Yu had been hiding in the barracks and never came out, wouldn't he have been unable to meet Ah Yu all this time?

Haven't they made no progress?

Ye Junshu is anxious!He hasn't seen Ah Yu for a long time!

I don't know if I won't regret piercing this layer of paper later.

Ye Junshu couldn't help thinking, Ah Yu wouldn't reject him in this way, would he?

No, no, Ah Yu is not such a person, if he thinks clearly about refusing, he will definitely tell him in person.

Ah Yu's behavior now shows that he is still thinking about it and has been unable to make up his mind for a long time, so he avoids him.

This also shows that Ah Yu's heart was shaken...

This is a good thing.

It's just that there is still no result so far, and Ye Junshu feels uneasy.

Ye Jun bowed his head and meditated on his work in writing, but in reality he was still wandering.

Suddenly there was commotion outside, and a colleague ran in excitedly and shouted: "The imperial edict has come from the palace!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, "Really?!"

"Really! Everyone has already gone to the main courtyard to wait for the order!" The person who came to report the news quickly ran away, as if to notify others.

When everyone heard this, they quickly put down the things in their hands, and went out quickly while arranging their clothes, for fear of slowing others down.

Ye Junshu also went out with the crowd. It was the first time he faced this situation, and he still found it quite novel.

He can still brag to the children when he returns home, and he is also the one who has taken over the imperial decree. Thinking of the little expressions on the children's stunned and admiring expressions, Ye Junshu is in a good mood.

I don't know what the imperial decree is, Ye Junshu guessed a wave, could it be that some big boss of the Imperial Academy made meritorious service and awarded the reward?

Looking at the scene, most of them looked excited and showed no fear. It is presumed that someone made a big mistake.

At this time, Ye Junshu hadn't thought that this imperial decree was related to him.

When they arrived at the courtyard, there was already a large group of people kneeling there. The people at the front were all with relatively high official positions, and the people at the back were basically newcomers like them.

The two senior officials of the Hanlin Academy, Mr. Jiang Ge and Ming Pengzhan, had already been here early, greeting the eunuch who held the imperial decree.

Ye Junshu found a place behind his colleagues and knelt down.

He slightly raised his eyes and glanced around, Yu Maolin was two rows in front of him, it was difficult to say hello and chat a few words, so he stopped talking.

Not long after, all the people from the Hanlin Academy should have arrived. After the process before receiving the imperial edict was completed, the eunuch soon stood in front of everyone, and Elder Jiang Ge and Ming Pengzhan knelt at the front.

The eunuch looked around for a week, but did not announce the order immediately, but suddenly said: "Deng Hongyuan and Ye Junshu stepped forward to listen to the order."

Ye Junshu was still thinking that the ground is so cold and hard, no wonder the ancients were more prone to rheumatism, kneeling around all day, can't the cold enter the body?

Then I heard my name.

Ye Junshu was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect the imperial decree to be related to him.

At this time, Deng Hongyuan had already stood up and walked forward, and Ye Junshu also stood up very quickly and walked to the front, and then took a step back and knelt down next to Elder Jiang Ge.

Deng Hongyuan had already knelt down beside Ming Pengzhan.

The eunuch who delivered the decree glanced at the two, then opened the imperial decree, and said in a loud voice: "By heaven, the emperor said: I am a talented person, and Tianhui is intelligent... I specially appointed Deng Hongyuan and Ye Junshu as the sixth-rank comfort envoys to assist Jinjiang. !"

Ye Junshu has been focusing on listening to the content of the imperial decree, and he is really excited. Unexpectedly, he has the opportunity to go on a business trip!

Ye Junshu pondered for a long time about the civil uprising in Jinjiang, and even discussed it with Yu Maolin privately. They both thought that there was a lot of thunder and little rain, and it would calm down sooner or later.

The people who participated in the rebellion were basically not the regular army, but were made up of the people, with varying quality, and they were vulnerable to thousands of cavalry.

However, when this incident happened, the emperor didn't look good. After all, it was caused by the corruption of the officials under his rule. Therefore, it is said that the courteous first and then the military, rather than using violence to control violence from the beginning.

Ye Junshu personally went to Jinjiang. Although it would be dangerous, it was also his opportunity.

As long as this matter is resolved, his future promotion path will be smoother.

After the imperial decree was read, everyone shouted "Long live my emperor, long live, long live", and then Ming Pengzhan went to receive the decree.

No matter how calm Ye Junshu was, he was also very excited at this moment.

The appeasement envoy is a temporary local affairs officer. In case of natural disasters or the use of troops on the border, the appeasement envoy is often sent to "pacify the body" and let it go as soon as the matter is completed.

In other words, his official position is temporary, and when the errands are finished, the official will be gone.

They will be working with the imperial envoy at that time, but for them, it will be a jump in promotion.

Even if it is temporary, it will not affect Ye Junshu's mood at the moment.

After sending off the guard of honor, no matter what the other members of the Imperial Academy thought, they still showed surprises on the face, congratulating Ye Junshu and Deng Hongyuan non-stop.

Ye Junshu's face is quite restrained, at least there is only a little joy, while Deng Hongyuan's performance fully interprets the four characters of "satisfied and full", and he feels a little bit embarrassed just looking at it.

Ye Junshu didn't care about the secret envy and jealousy of his colleagues who congratulated him, even if the other party showed something, he didn't see it.

Everyone present didn't know that when they went out, they were shining brightly with gold!

Being able to be personally pointed out by His Majesty means that they have already registered in front of His Majesty and must be reused.

Who among them would not want that person to be themselves?

However, among the top three in the new division, only Yu Maolin, the champion, was not sent out...

All of a sudden, everyone's thoughts were different, and they couldn't help but make up the stories in their brains.

Yu Maolin ignored the gaze cast on him, he walked up to Ye Junshu, patted him on the shoulder, "Congratulations!"

Ye Junshu smiled slightly, "Thank you."

After receiving the imperial edict, Mr. Jiang Ge took his subordinates back to continue their work, so Ye Junshu couldn't say a few words to Yu Maolin, so Yu Maolin left in a hurry.

The colleagues in the yard also slowly dispersed.

Ming Pengzhan called Ye Junshu and Deng Hongyuan over, said some words of encouragement, and then asked them to hand over the work at hand, and then went home to prepare.

Jinjiang is some distance away from Shangjing, and it will take more than half a month if you rush on the road.

It will take at least two months to finish this matter, which means that this year he will be celebrating the New Year in Jinjiang.

After the excitement, Ye Junshu felt a little worried when he thought of the group of children at home.How can the children cry when they are away for four or five months, especially if they are not with them during the Chinese New Year?

Moreover, this is Shangjing, and the interpersonal relationship is complicated. Ye Junshu is really worried that the children in the family are all underage, and they are all weak.

But since the imperial decree has been issued, Ye Junshu cannot refuse this errand.

He temporarily let go of his worries, handed over the work at hand to the colleagues designated by Ming Pengzhan, greeted Ming Pengzhan and others, and then went home.

It's not off-duty time, and there aren't many pedestrians on the roads in the inner city. Ye Dayong was chatting with other coachmen, and he was very surprised to see Ye Junshu coming over.

But he didn't say much, and quickly pulled out the carriage.

Ye Junshu got into the carriage, and Ye Dayong asked, "Young Master, are you going back home?"

Ye Junshu looked at the sky and said, "Let's go to Buzhuang first." I heard Brother Lu read a few words yesterday, he should be in Buzhuang today.

"Yes." Ye Dayong replied, and immediately started driving.

Ye Junshu fell on the carriage, still thinking about how he would talk to the children.

Master Wan has already gone to Jinjiang together with General Liao. Food, grass and silver have to be dispatched, and it will be a few days late. The sooner they rush there, the better.

Ming Pengzhan has already told them that the grain and grass will be delivered early tomorrow morning, and they will set off with the grain and grass army.

In other words, he will leave tomorrow.

Not at all prepared.

But when he arrived at Buzhuang, Ye Junshu suddenly had no idea of ​​any countermeasures. He stared at the two talking and laughing in front of him, one tall and one short. A trace of haze.

Ye Junshu froze all over. Since when did Xiao Shizi get so familiar with his brother Lu? !

Ye Junshu suddenly felt a sense of crisis, no good, his little brother is going to be snatched away!
